Drive-By Truckers - Do It Yourself

Tune down one full step

   D            A       E               D         A                 E
My Daddy called me on a Friday morning, so sad to tell me just what you?d done
D            A            E               D          A                    E
You tried so hard to make us all hate you but in the end you was the only one
F#m
Sick, tired, pissed and wired, you never thought about anyone else.
D            A                E
You tried in vain to find something to kill you
D      A              E            
In the end you had to do it yourself.

      D         A       E                   D        A                  E
Who?s to blame for the loveless marriage, who?s to blame for the broken band?
D            A               E               D              A                        E
You ran from life and all of it?s pleasures, your own teeth marks on your own damned hand.
F#m
Thrown out before the date?s expired, you?d rather die than let anyone help,
D            A               E
You?d rather die than take a stab at living.
D       A                     E
Nothing would kill you so you do it yourself.

C                  G                         Em
Everyone has those times when the night?s so long
C            G                   Em 
The dead-end life just drags you down
C             G              Em
You lean back under the microphone
C              G          Em         
and turn your demons into walls of goddamned noise and sound.

    D            A                   E             D                  A             E
And it?s a sorry thing to do to your sweet sister, It?s a sorry thing to do to your little boy
D            A           E                         D                   A               E
It?s a sorry thing to do to the folks who love you Your Mama and Daddy lost their only boy
F#m
Some should say I should cut you slack, but you worked so hard at unhappiness.
D          A            E
Living too hard just couldn?t kill you
D      A              E
In the end you had to do it yourself.

D          A            E
Living too hard just couldn?t kill you
D      A              E
In the end you had to do it yourself.
